Happy Birthday, Jane Goodall!

One of conservation heroes, Jane Goodall, celebrates her birthday today. Her new film, Chimpanzee, in association with Disneynature, opens in theatres on April 20th; and they will donate to the Jane Goodall Institute when you see the film within the first week.

The Bond

I finally bought The Bond by Wayne Pacelle this past weekend. The index, as well as testimonials by names such as Jane Goodall, Peter Singer and John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Market, is impressive; and I can't wait to start reading it.

If it weren't for the other books vying for my attention, I would have bought The Bond back in April, when it first came out. But better late than not at all. One of the next books on my list is The Monkey Bible by Mark Laxer. Purchases of this book also benefit Born Free USA.

Do you have a favorite book, about animals or otherwise?
